EAR AND NAIL CLEANER.

Application filed March 12, 1923. Serial No. 624,520.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, J OSEPH ZAJIGEK, Jr.,

a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county ofNew York and State of New York, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in an Ear and Nail Cleaner, of which the following is aspecification. V

This invention relates to improvements in toilet articles and has forits prime object to provide an instrument that can'be used for variouspurposes.

A further object of the invention is to provide an instrument of thecharacter stated, which is formed from a single piece of metal and whichcan be easily carried in a vest pocket or. a small hand purse.

A still further object of the invention is to provide an instrumentwhich is simple in construction, durable, efficient for the purposeintended, and one that can be manufactured and sold at arelatively lowcost.

These and like objects of the invention will be better understood as thedescription follows and as is specifically pointed out in the appendedclaim.

Referring to the accompanying drawing which forms a part of thisspecification and which clearly illustrates the construction and use ofmy improved instrument,

Figure l is a perspective view of an instrument constructed inaccordance with my invention.

Figure 2 is a top plan view of same.

Figure3 is an edge view of same, and

Figure 4 is a horizontal section taken on line ll of Figure 2.

Referring to the accompanying drawing in detail, like characters will beused to designate like parts in the'different views.

In the drawing, the numeral 1 indicates as a whole my improved toiletarticle, which comprises a body 2 that tapers to form a enlarged portionof the body is provided with shoulders 4 and has a neck 5 extendingoutwardly from the shoulders which is provided on each side with aroughened sursharp point or edge 3 at one. end, while the ed, while theshoulders l permit the cuticle v of the nails to be pushed backwardlyand the roughened. surfaces 6 on each'side of the neck 5 provide a nailfile. 7 r The extreme end of the neck portion which is roundedand-provided with a concaved surface 7, permits the instrument to beused as an ear cleaner, therounded portion preventing the same frominjuring the drum of the ear nany manner and the shoulders l limit theinward movement of the neck 5 within the ear.

In view of the foregoing description of my inventiontaken' in connectionwith the accompanying drawing, it is thought that any furtherexplanation .as to the construction, operation, and objects of same isunnecessary.

While I have shown and described the preferred form of my invention, Irealize that various minor changes maybe resorted to, without departingfrom the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed, and there 7 5fore, I do not wish to limit myself to the exact details of constructionshown, nor to the combination and arrangement of parts.

What I claim as new and desire to secure, by Letters Patent is: V

' A device of the character described comprising a body tapering towardsone end to provide a sharp, pointed edge and the op posite end formingshoulders and havinga neck extending outwardly therefrom, said neckbeing provided with a roughened surface at each side thereof, and an earcup formed on the extreme end of the neck portion as and for the purposespecified.

In testimony whereof I have afiixed my signature in the presence of twowitnesses.
